uh those would be politically INcorrect, sir (except for gay). are we just making a list of racial, ethnic, and sexual slurs here? pretty sure urban dictionary might be able to help you on your quest.

I told a guy who said that he fancied me last week that I have Aids. His face dropped and he didn't find it funny at all. I find that it works even better when you tell someone that and then you lean towards them to kiss them on the lips.

Nothing can beat Marmite-Miner. But even terms like 'the gays' I find offensive, its so us&themy... ergh!

Cantankerous 04.01.2008 06:26 AM

i don't take offense to any particular terms, it's the context in which they're used.
and god bless THE GAYS. the world would be nothing without them.

isn't 'wrong politically incorrectness' a double negative as in like, 'never had no'?

It depends. I take offence more when someone uses terms like ''nigger'' than when someone uses terms like ''gay''. This is probably because I have heard many people using it in a deliberately offensive manner and because it is intrinsically a strongly offensive and derogatory term. It's a different kettle of fish with labelling things that you don't like as ''gay''; That I find offensive only when it is used by someone who comes across as if they are hiding some latent homophobia and they feel like it is acceptable to call everything gay because it has become normal to do so.

i'm not an homophobe but i hate "fairies" and hysterical people alike.

''Politically Incorrect Terms That You Have Heard''

I assumed that the title of the thread was meant to read like this:

''Politically Incorrect Terms That You Have Heard and You Think That They Sound Wrong''

Whatever, it's the internet, inneeeee?

Does that mean that you hate women too? I'm not too much of a fan of queeny types myself, as it happens.

the word gay has been normalized to mean homosexual in a non-offensive way but yeah then people do run around shouting "that is so gay!" when they dispprove of something which is stupid because really if you think about it it doesn't make much sense. "nigger" really can only appropriately be used in a humorous context or in one such as patti smith's "rock n roll nigger" because patti smith took the term and applied it to a different context so as to mean an outsider, not just a black person.
